IT Is UNDERSTOOD that the Virginia iron
Ship. building Company have made prop.
osition to the city council to the effect lhat
if the amount Of their overdue taxes be re-
ducod one hall, they will pay that hall by
giving the city the Pioneer Mills. provided
that in future that part of their property &C
cupied by the Norton ship building company
be entirely relieved OF municipal taxation
1t is a SO understood that such proposition
is being favorably considered, for the rea'
son of promise that the tax money, OF the
payment of which the company are thus &c
be relieved, will be used to extend the shops
and operations of the Norton company. But
it ia also understood that this latter compa
nv has no reliance upon this promise, ana nc
security for its fulfilment. If the latter
understanding be correct, the city councl
would do we'll to reject the proposition re-
fsrred to. The Popeer Mills would DO OF nc

CATARRH

To those who are afflicted with any of the
different forms of Catarrh, we would lay,
there is no disease which presents a greater
insidiousand dangerous than Nasal Catarrh,
especially II complicated, as 1t almo ost always
is, even from its first appearance, with an
affection OF the throat
From the earliest symptoms (Which are
generally attributed TO a &C I'D in the head'O
to the various ugly and distressing stages
through which the disease passes, the pa
tient ia hopeful OF recovery, and rarely
gives 1t proper attention undl certain
alarming symptoms present themselves,de-
noting snmistskably the rapid advance Of
the malady to the lungs. Indeed, SO various
are the symptoms that the presence of the
disease is not always known or even sus-
pected, until it has reached a stage difficult
to arrest. The disease may or may not be at
tended by a discharge from the nostrils or
throat. but there is usually present a NOR
bid secretion aud frequent di i"osition

though not always, attended by expectOra-

the frontal par. OF the head, and the brain
sometimes suffers to an extent producing
headache, vertigo and confusion; it be-
comes difficult to think clearly. and to con.
ceDtrate the mird the memory becomes
impaired and the intellect enfeebled; de.
spondency of spirit and an excitable condi-
tion of the nervous system. Such is the eff.
feet of the disease, and ii TO this train of
symptoms (Which not infrequently leads to
TO insanity or idiocy) we add many of the
n ore loa' hsome physical effects, as cassles,
or rottenness of the homes OF the face and
head, a most offensive smell to the breath,
and corrupt, morbid and poisonous secre-
tiOns, destruction or the serious injury OF
the sense of smell, hearing. sight and taste.

lead any persoI to make early and proper
efforts to eradicate the disease from the

Chronic Bronchitis.

Chronic Bronchitis is also an infiamma
tion of the mucous membrane of the bron-
chial tnbes. When q cold settles on the
lungs the disease either ends in bronchitis
or pneumonia. II 1t ends in bronchitis 1t
usually passes OFF as cod on the chest,
and still the patient does n t feel entirely

capable of taking his usual amount OF exer.

with more or less warmth In the palms OF
his hands. Soon after this q cough appears,
accompanied by an exoectoration OF thick
mucus, followed by he cite flush. loss OF
flesh and strength and night sweats con.

pesrances Of having genuine case Of con-

lungs or chronic broEchitis.
In the later stage of the disease the mucus

sOftens, while In the smaller tubes and air
cells OF the lungs the mucus membrane be-
comes congested and infiammtd. There
are no cayaties nor tubercles in the lungs
but merely q wasting away OF the larger

from obstruction of the bronchial tubes and
